well apart from flamu i dont know who , but okey . still , even if the CCs are disagreeing with wg , the community isn't , look at the comments on this thread , and you may have the impression that staling is a below average cruiser .
yeahmore than good , a nightmare in CBs , i'd say these are good reasons to tune it down a bit

well , you said taking but you meant avoiding , and the citadel , every cruiser have it .
and tanking , it has similar armor to moskva with just 10k HP more , almost nothing right ?
i would agree that HE is not greta but who shoots HE in a BB ^^ all in all your argument is still not convinsing , and please tell me whats the difference between OP and too strong ?

best hp and armor and guns and penetration and pen angles and speed and 1 min long def AA and you tell me its not op because it cant handle HE from hindi and conq ?
i am sorry mate , but your arguemtn is really week ,
at least show me what cruisers can take HE of hindi and conq ?

is that is the balance factor ? you need to bring 2 HIV and spec them just to deal with stalingrad ? ( witch we actualy did in my clan )
if that is not an argument that stalingrad is broken then i dont know what is . its just sad that you of all people are saying that Grumpy

Little disclaimer at the start , if you get offended quickly , don't read this , you have been warned.
with that out of the way , today and for the first time i want to comlapin about the community not about WG .
to all supertesters , to all CCs , and top clans players . how did non of you step aside and said no to this abomination that is the stalingrad ? how can you be so selfish and irresponsable to a game that you supposed to love ?
i got it today and fankly i am disapointed ,its just a big *edited* machine to everyone in the enemy with very little counters , has probably best guns at tier10 , gret pen and pen-angles , radar , armor , speed ,, just everything . it has been a nightmare in CBs to see , and now more people will have them . i have seen clans running 3 and 4 , even 6 of them , and i have screenshots
trust me on this WG , its NOT just " a ship " , it WILL damage the health and balance of the game , please learn from mistakes made in world of tanks , and fix this , NERF it , i know you can , you did it before in tanks , , and expel every SINGLE tester who gave a positive feedback that the ship was ready , they are no use to you if they continue missleading you .
at the end , i know there are many people who dont like my posts , but i would love to see how can you disagree with me on this one , because if you know that the sun rises from the east , and cacti are not meant for sitting on , then you should know that stalingrad is Broken
